WOW! What a weekend! The National Valais Show in Iowa is fantastic! So much to do, so many beautiful sheep and great, knowledgeable people to talk with. It can be a little overwhelming. But I love it! Every year the show gets better and bigger and the sheep more amazing.
After earning a couple of ribbons in the show ring on Friday afternoon, the highlight of the show for me was the Fancy Dress contest. My sheep have pulled the ‘Happy Birthday America’ wagon in parades over the summer, so naturally I decided to enter it in the show. (Thanks to everyone that helped me get it into the ring) I love these good natured sheep! Awarded 2nd place
